Anxious FBI chiefs are trawling through 'numerous' top-level investigations spanning 22 years for fear they were compromised by convicted bureau spook Charles McGonigal, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The forensic clean-up operation ranges over the entire time the philandering former head of counterintelligence in New York worked for the agency.
McGonigal, 55, has already been sentenced to four years and two months in prison for taking money and conspiring with a sanctioned Russian oligarch who is a crony of despot President Vladimir Putin.
But the full possible repercussions of his treachery are outlined in a sentencing memorandum by the US government for another case in Washington DC, where he will be sentenced on February 16.
Prosecutors are demanding he gets another 30 months jail time and a $95,000 fine for hiding $225,000 in cash he received from an Albanian intelligence official.
And they reveal in the January 5 filing – obtained by DailyMail.com – that the FBI is so worried about McGonigal's deceit that 'sensitive' cases dating back to when he became a special agent are being minutely scrutinized.
The memorandum says: 'Given the defendant's senior and sensitive role in the organization, the FBI has been forced to undertake substantial reviews of numerous other investigations to insure that none were compromised during the defendant's tenure as an FBI special agent and supervisory special agent.
'The defendant worked on some of the most sensitive and significant matters handled by the FBI.'
The filing further warns: 'His lack of credibility, as revealed by his conduct underlying his offense of conviction, could jeopardize them all.
'The resulting internal review has been a large undertaking, requiring an unnecessary expenditure of substantial governmental resources.'
Married McGonigal joined the FBI in 1996 and started his career working on the investigation into the TWA flight 800 disaster...

Good. Now go after Scott Ritter and Doug Macgregor.
4 years, and most of the convicted Jan 6 folks got 5-25 years?
FIB-RUSSIA COLLUSION!!!
Is this the noble stereotype Sean Hannity always extolls?
They exist, they just don’t make it into command (SES) positions in a significant numbers anymore.
Based on the unethical, and criminal behavior of the FBI these past 7 years, I’m sure the majority of the cases the FBI investigated in the past were compromised.
Wow, 4 hole years for being a spy in the FBI for 22 years and jeopardizing dozens of cases.
He's lucky and grateful he wasn't near the capital on Jan-6. Or was he?
“...McGonigal joined the FBI in 1996 and started his career working on the investigation into the TWA flight 800 disaster...”
So he had early exposure to the Bureau kowtowing to corrupt politicians and suppressing investigations as instructed. I wonder whether McGonigal turned due to disgust with our corrupt system, or if he was fine with it, but got busted for not handing ten pecent to the Big Guy.
“sentenced to four years and two months in prison for taking money and conspiring with a sanctioned Russian oligarch who is a crony of despot President Vladimir Putin.”
That’s some dramatic writing going on there. “Oligarch”, “crony”, “despot...”
Quite emotional.
I see no evidence whatsoever that they exist at all. Do you think it was SES folk to basically stole everything from those safe deposit boxes which has been in the news of late?
I'd be very surprised if they weren't just 'rank and file' scumbags that infest the agency from top to bottom. I'd be surprised if there were 5 honest men in the entire organization.
Author Peter Lance wrote about DeVecchio’s lawlessness in “Cover-Up”. Lance’s book contains the actual FBI documents proving that the Clinton DOJ suppressed evidence that convicted 1993 World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef was planning to blow up a commercial airliner in the United States from prison in 1996 through communications with his associates when TWA 800 exploded in July 1996 over Long Island. The reason for the suppression, Lance argues, is that the witness against Yousef was a prisonmate named Greg Scrapa, Jr., and the Clinton DOJ did not want to give Scarpa any credibility because Scarpa was telling people about corrupt FBI agents in NY and the Clinton DOJ did not want those FBI agents prosecuted and did not want the possible unraveling of gangland convictions that had been obtained, even though it appeard that some of those convictions were wrong. 9/11 Commissioner and Clinton appointee, Jamie Gorelick participated in the supression and never told the FAA that investigated TWA 800 or the 9/11 Commission that investigated terrorism leading to 9/11 about the possible link between Yousef and TWA 800.
Again, I urge everybody to read Lance’s books, “Cover-Up” and the previous book, “1,000 Years for Revenge”.

Whatever
Seven years? The FIBs have been a crooked unethical outfit starting with that old cross dresser Hoover. Look at how many of these criminals with badges were involved in the Whitey Bulger case.
I bet a diligent researcher with access to the Lexus/Nexus data base could write an encyclopedias worth of articles on these bums.
In the case of Bulger he was smarter then his FBI handlers. Instead of being recruited by the the FBI and manipulated. He allowed himself to be recruited and manipulated the FBI. Used the FBI to take down his criminal rivals. Not all criminals are drooling morons a few are indeed Professor Moriarty. Bulger was one such criminal.
Who’s going to get punished for spying on us?
